Hunter's 7th bday party... 6 months late

Hunter's birthday is actually in December and this past December it was his turn for the solo birthday party.  Ashton and Shepherd had their joint party in November, I was 7 to 8 months pregnant, and Christmas was right around the corner, so I planted a little seed in Hunter's head that it would be fun to have a pool party in June.  He thought about it and thankfully agreed... and he did not let me forget.
Happy almost 1/2 birthday Hunter bug!
Yesterday, we had a such a sweet, fun party for him with his favorite people.  We didnt do anything over the top or too big but it was perfect.  He had a great time.

We had it up at Chad's family's pool.  It was a great set up.

Before the party
 The pool and the slide was a hit!

Bennett's first pool experience... wouldnt call him a fan but he was getting tired and hungry



Caeulum is so tough and brave.  He went down the slide with little prompting

    Thanks to Patsy, Hub, and Joan for hosting it at their pool. For those who missed it, sorry about your luck! Those kids had a blast....went home slightly red, extremely tired, and joyfully happy!
